It shows: reporters in telephone booths, calling in stories about the Social Credit Party supporting Pearson (sound does not sync with images); Pearson in the lobby of the House of Commons (sound syncs here); outside Pearson's office; inside the office; man goes inside to speak with Pearson; Pearson's aides going in and out of office; reporters shown at work in press room, typing, on the telephone, watching a television broadcast about the Créditistes; view of television monitor showing Frank Howard giving a sound bite about Jack Pickersgill and [Gordon] Churchill; comment on Members of Parliament failing to show up for votes; view of television monitor showing Colin Parker of the CBC giving news headlines, Hurricane Flora hitting Haiti, the Créditiste blockade; report by Norman DePoe on the threat of a filibuster in the House of Commons; the blocking of a supply bill; Allan MacEachen, Minister of Labour, on the Seafarers' Union problem; the 4-day walkout on the docks in Montreal; Parliament Hill; Pearson commenting on 8 October 1963, the next morning, about being glad that they did not have an all-night sitting of the House of Commons and that he has to meet with the leader of Ethiopia. Shots of aide [Jim Coutts?] preparing the Prime Minister's papers and giving him documents to sign or look over. Pearson reading documents in his office. Pearson in discussion with aide [Coutts?]. Footage dated 9 October 1963, showing press room (?), the House of Commons in progress (with wild sound), and people in the halls of Parliment. Pearson is shown in his office, with his secretary, listening to a radio report by Tom [Earle] about the vote in the House of Commons. The secretary then calls an aide about passage of the supply bill. Reaction by reporters in the press room to events of the day (there is no image of this after a few frames, but the soundtrack continues.)
